I am hoping that the wonderful K100 folk can help
I have read the similar threads on lumpy running and will do the following
I wonder if there are any other "idiots guide to fixing your K100 when its running lumpy" tips (I am the idiot, not you lot)
A bit more background -
All thoughts greatly appreciated
I have read the similar threads on lumpy running and will do the following
- check I have not disturbed the Fuel injection module wiring under the seat when I removed it to change the battery - I removed it whilst still attached to the loom as I could not get the clip undone - will check I have not damaged the wires
- check all the perishable rubber bits (the Z rubber bit?)
- check the idling set up

A bit more background -
- the old battery was flat (cos I left it on the bike all winter in the shed and started it a few times but did not run it)(told you I was an idiot)
- I charged the old battery (whilst still in the bike) enough to start and the bike ran lovely, no probs. went out for 20 miles, got home, would not start again to drive back into shed
- changed battery - new gel pack with enormous cold cranking
- started on choke, ran lovely until choke off, then went lumpy
- rode at speed for 20 plus miles, no probs but stalled whenever at stop and runs lumpy at low revs. (held throttle open to idle at 1.2k and it hunts/hesitates)
All thoughts greatly appreciated
